I saw few die of hunger – of eating a hundred thousand. Benjamin Franklin

This first post will have 2 parts… an A.M. (part 1) and a P.M. (Part 2)

Normally I get a group of people to join me in doing my seasonal cleanse, but this was a last week decision for many reasons, so I go alone this time. Doing it with a group of people makes one accountable to the other, thereby making it harder to give up. Having watched the great movie Julie & Julia on Friday, I thought… I can post about it! This will keep me accountable for all 10 days… thank you Julie!

Because I have years of experience detoxing and helping others do the same, these ‘Master Cleanse’ posts will include all the extras I will be adding to this basic cleanse (see my post on Master Cleanse for the 21st Century). Should you decide to do a Master Cleanse, I would recommend adding Dr. Schulze’s Formula #2 as a minimum to it. It can remove up to 40 X’s in weight in waste, thereby giving you a much deeper cleanse. If your system is really sluggish, you may consider buying a bottle (or two) of Formula #1 while you’re at it.

I’ll be explaining more with each passing day. Please know, it is not recommended you take Formula #2 by itself, unless you suffer from Crohn’s, loose watery stools, food poisoning, or you use it with Master Cleanse, etc. Ask for details when ordering. FYI… I worked for Dr. Schulze, so I know how well his products work. I also know there is no one-size-fits-all to anything, so use your best judgment.

To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals. Benjamin Franklin

Today is day 2 of my 3 day countdown to my Master Cleanse (see “Detox 2 Live category – Diet, Detox, Fasting or Cleansing). I refer to it as a cleanse for the 21st Century, not because I’m doing it in this century, but because I  don’t do the Master Cleanse by itself. When I try a cleanse for the first time, I do as written. After that, I may or may not tailor it, or spruce it up a bit. This cleanse was created and/or written in 1976… long before the majority of food was fast and processed, before fast food places and microwaves were a daily staple for many, and long before colored pills became part of a daily routine. I remember 1976 – the food was still somewhat real and growing our own garden did not pose a threat.

The original Master Cleanse works well, but… it can be better. If you are going to take 10 days of your life to give your body a much needed break, why not give it your all? I will be blogging about my 10 days… the good, the bad, and the ugly. Those of you ready to age less, feel free to join!

Got a favorite cleanse/detox? Would love to hear about it…
